I like 'em man. What size spacers are you running though? They stick out much farther than mine, mine tuck real nice with 5/16" spacers and ground calipers.

5/16ths as well. I dont like how they sit in the rear though. I traded wheels with my dad fo the deep dish. Can I grind the calipers down any? I tried it with out the spacer and it rolled but was dragging a little bit. Ill tire wet them tomorrow. Ive been up for 14 hrs. It took me 2 hrs just to get 3 wheels on. Ill take some more pictures tomorrow when Its sunny.

Yes, you can grind the hell out of the calipers. I spent 6 hours grinding mine. There's a pic of my car sittin on the 'stars here on this forum... I'll find you a link. There's also caliper grinding write ups around here.

I did grind it down some. It is not hitting by much, I drove the car up the street. I can just hear it a little bit.

Thanks for the link, my car fit like that, when I had the 8" backs and nitto 275 60's. Im running a 275 50 now and a 10" wheel. I am going to have to figure out whats going on. I hope the back spacing isnt different. They tucked real nice under my dads car.

From the looks of it, I'd say the backspacing is different... I'm running the 8" wheels.

Ill figure it out, even if I have to go buy two other wheels and have them powder coated. I think its the spacer doing it.

I dunno man, I don't think it's the spacer. But a good way to check is to just put them on w/o the spacers, just put the lugnuts on to hold the wheel on, and take it off the jackstand, see if that solves the issue, then go from there.
